April 4, 1973 ALBERTA HANSARD 35-1675 April 4, 1973 ALBERTA HANSARD 35-1675 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ALBERTA Title: Wednesday, April 4, 1973 2:30 p.m. [The House met at 2:30 o'clock.] PRAYERS [Mr. Speaker in the Chair] head: INTRODUCTION OF BILLS Bill No. 212 An Act to amend the Ombudsman Act MR. LUDWIG: Mr. Speaker, I beg leave to introduce a bill being An Act to amend the Ombudsman Act. This Act extends the principle of ombudsman to deal with municipalities and school boards. I would like to point out that the first speech on the issue of ombudsman was given in this House approximately ten years ago. It took four or five years to convince the previous government as to the merits of the provincial ombudsman. I believe, Mr. Speaker, that if I were successful in convincing the previous government to bring in a bill on a very new concept, that now that this issue is well known and recognized throughout Alberta and Canada, perhaps I will be successful in convincing this House as to the merits of extending the services of an ombudsman to municipalities and school boards. Mr. Speaker, I wish to introduce this bill. MR. SPEAKER: May I respectfully remind the House that on the introduction of bills only a brief summary of the content of the bill is permitted according to the rules. [Leave being granted, Bill No. 212 was introduced and read a first time.] Bill No. 213 An Act to amend the Credit and Loan Agreements Act MR. NOTLEY: Mr. Speaker, I beg leave to introduce Bill No. 213, being An Act to amend the Credit and Loan Agreement Act. Mr. Speaker, the Act deals with those companies engaged in collecting information about financial ratings of individual Albertans. It has four main features. The first is that no collection of information can go ahead without written consent of the individuals being investigated. Secondly, no release of the information can take place without written authorization of the persons involved. Three, once a year a copy of all the information must be sent to the individual. And finally, if the individuals request that the files be destroyed, they must be destroyed. [Leave being granted, Bill No. 213 was introduced and read a first time.] 34-1676 ALBERTA HANSARD April 4, 1973 head: INTRODUCTION OF VISITORS MR. ADAIR: Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to introduce to you and through you to the members of this Assembly, three distinguished guests in your gallery, the Speaker's Gallery. Miss Gabriella Guzman of Mexico City -- Miss Guzman is the daughter of the former Mexican ambassador to Venezuela and is currently chief of protocol for the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico. Miss Guzman is in Alberta as a guest of the Metis Association of Alberta and is accompanied by the president of the Metis Association, Mr. Stan Daniels. I am pleased to introduce to you Mr. Reg Worthy, also in the Speaker's Gallery, the director of Aboriginal Affairs for the State of Victoria in Australia. Mr. Worthy is in Alberta, Canada and the United States for some two to three months to look at our way of doing things. It's my pleasure to ask these people to stand and be recognized by the Assembly. DR. BOUVIER: Mr. Speaker, again this afternoon it is my pleasure to introduce 24 Grade 9 students from the Peter Pond School in Fort McMurray. They are on an educational tour in the capital. They are accompanied by their teachers, Mr. Bob Crow, Mr. Ken King and Mrs. Linda Brooks. They are seated in the public gallery and I would ask them to stand and be greeted by the House. MR. YURKO: Mr. Speaker, I have indeed a substantial pleasure in introducing to you today and to the House 103 Grade 9 students from the favourite school in the constituency of Edmonton Gold Bar, that is the St. Gabriel School. I must say that I have some degree of association with the school, having spoken there on several occasions. And sometimes I sense perhaps a slight, oblique relationship to the name of the school, the same as, perhaps, the Member for Calgary Mountain View. But I want to indicate that with the 103 students from the school in the Assembly here today are their leaders and teachers, Mr. Paul Stuert, Mr. Tomko, Mr. Sherban and Mrs. Doucet. Seventy-five of these young citizens are in the members gallery, and twenty-eight are in the public gallery. I would ask that they stand and be recognized by the House. MR. TAYLOR: Mr. Speaker, I have great pleasure in introducing to you and through you to the hon. members of the Legislature a very distinguished lady from Standard, Alberta. I refer to Mrs. Elizabeth Pedersen, who is sitting in Mr. Speaker's Gallery. Mrs. Pedersen has a distinguished career of public service. She is presently president of the Women of Unifarm, a member of the Senate of the University of Calgary, a member of the Rural Extension Education Advisory Committee and a member of the REDA Educational Council. Mrs. Pedersen has played an active part in the development of our province, and has consistently gone the second and third mile in order to help to build Canada and Alberta on a solid foundation. Mrs. Pedersen has exceptional leadership ability which she uses in the interests of others. A few years ago, Mrs. Pedersen, had it not been for illness, almost ran against me in the Drumheller constituency. Fortunately for me, she didn’t because she would likely have been on the floor today and I up in the public gallery, and she would be introducing me. I would ask Mrs. Pedersen to stand and I am sure every member of the Legislature will give her a hearty welcome to this Assembly. head: FILING RETURNS AND TABLING REPORTS MR. YURKO: Mr. Speaker, I wish to table Sessional Paper No. 202. MR. LEITCH: Mr. Speaker, it's my pleasure to table a report which I received yesterday from the Institute of Law Research and Reform dealing with expropriation. April 4, 1973 ALBERTA HANSARD 35-1677 MR. PEACOCK: Mr. Speaker, I wish to table Sessional Paper No. 207. MR. DICKIE: Mr. Speaker, I would like to table a Return requested by the Assembly, being Return No. 200 on the motion by the hon. Leader of the Opposition. DR. WARRACK: Mr. Speaker, I would like to table the Returns for two motions, No. 208 dealing with correspondence relating to Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park, and secondly, No. 217 that has regard to information and analysis of studies respecting the hen pheasants of Alberta. head: ORAL QUESTION PERIOD Conference Observers MR. HENDERSON: Mr. Speaker, I would like to address a question to the Premier. I wonder if the Premier could advise the House if he has had any indication as to whether the eastern provinces are going to have observers in attendance at the forthcoming Western Economic Opportunity Conference? MR. LOUGHEED: Mr. Speaker, at this stage we have no information as to what the ultimate decision will be regarding observers. I understand there has been some discussion raised with the possibility of the Government of Ontario expressing an interest in that regard, but in my brief meeting yesterday with Premier Davis that matter was not raised. I would think the point would be ultimately concluded as the working group of officials between the five governments works towards the meeting in Calgary in July. But with the exception of that one comment regarding the Province of Ontario we have no other information as to interests of other provinces, although I would anticipate that when we are in Ottawa in late May at the First Ministers' Meeting that if there is a general interest by the other regions of Canada, it would be expressed at that time. MR. SPEAKER: The hon. Member for Olds-Didsbury, followed by the hon. Member for Calgary Bow. Bow Valley Pipe Line MR. CLARK: Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Mines and Minerals and ask the minister if it is true that Bow Valley Pipe Line, which operates in the Duchess-Brooks area, has been acquired 100 per cent by Koch Oil of the United States. MR. DICKIE: Mr. Speaker, that hasn't come to my attention, but I will check it for the hon. member. MR. CLARK: A supplementary to the minister. Mr. Minister, are these matters brought to your attention when there is a sale such as this in the petroleum industry? And while you are checking, would you also see if Canadians or Albertans had an opportunity to acquire the controlling interest? MR. DICKIE: Yes, Mr. Speaker, we will pursue that. MR. CLARK: Another supplementary, Mr. Speaker. While the minister is checking, would you check and see if the firm which owned 50 per cent of Bow Valley Pipe Lines 34-1678 ALBERTA HANSARD April 4, 1973 Canadian Pacific Investments -- if the president of that firm is Duff Roblin and one of the board members is Ian Sinclair? MR. DICKIE: Mr. Speaker, certainly we will check to see what information is available and the information we have we will convey to the hon. member. MR. SPEAKER: The hon. Member for Calgary Bow, followed by the hon. Member for Taber- Warner. Recycling Glass MR. WILSON: Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct a question to the hon. Minister of Industry and Commerce. Have you, or are you planning to meet with representatives of Canada Dry Ltd. to discuss the cancellation of their $3.5 million Edmonton expansion program that would have created 60 new jobs? MR.

  • The Art and Craft of University Coordination
    THE ART AND CRAFT OF UNIVERSITY COORDINATION by James Thomas Barmby A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December 2013 © James Thomas Barmby, 2013 ii Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the apparent acquiescence of senior officials at Alberta‟s universities to legislation that might pose a threat to their institutions‟ autonomy. In 1975 the Alberta government under the leadership of Premier Peter Lougheed attempted to introduce a mechanism for coordinating university programs in the Adult Education Act by placing Alberta‟s four universities against their will within a system of provincial public post- secondary institutions. The 1975 Act failed to receive third reading due to successful lobbying efforts, yet in 2003 Lougheed's vision was finally realized with the passage of the Post- Secondary Learning Act (PSLA), which enlisted Alberta‟s four universities without resistance as members of a provincial system that coordinates post-secondary programming. A historical analysis, this study was framed within the dimensions of Wenger‟s Communities of Practice model to analyze the interaction and trust between and among senior university and government officials in their attempts to find agreement on matters concerning the coordination of university programming. The study found that, only where there was evidence of all three dimensions of the Communities

Examining Committee Liza Piper, University of Alberta Paul Voisey, University of Alberta Ian Urquhart, University of Alberta For Mom and Dad Abstract The following thesis explores the development of oil and gas resources in the province of Alberta between 1971 and 1985. At its broadest, this thesis uses the interaction of government, capital, and citizenry surrounding the exploitation of a non‐ renewable energy resource to examine the social side of resource development. These three actors approached oil and gas resources with their own ideologies, tactics, and goals. The relationships, disagreements, and debates between and among these groups provide a glimpse into the social nature of resource development in Alberta.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the Him along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been Rimed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    Shaping Research Frontiers: The Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research, 1980-2005 Robynne Rogers Healey, PhD Carolee Pollock, PhD Julian Martin, PhD ©2005 Acknowledgements This project could not have been completed without the assistance of a great many people who deserve thanks. Primary sources form the basis of the historian’s craft; those who keep and care for them play a key role in the stories historians can tell. Thanks go first to those who provided us access to the documents. Kathleen Thurber, Director of Communications at AHFMR, provided access to the Foundation’s archival materials and workspace and graciously answered many questions. Liza Chan, the Foundation’s librarian, was also helpful. Diana Barry, Secretary to the President, and Marj Weber, Executive Assistant to the President, made the research experience at AHFMR very pleasant. They tolerated our presence in the presidential suite, answered numerous questions, retrieved documents that we could not find, supplied lists of names, and remained cheerful the entire time! Raymond Frogner at the University of Alberta Archives and Lisa Atkinson at the University of Calgary Archives helped us find documents that told the “other side” of the Foundation story. Very importantly for this project, a number of very busy people generously gave of their time to be interviewed. These interviews were absolutely crucial to our understanding of the documents and told us much more than they ever could. We appreciate the frankness with which these people approached the interview process. Thanks go to: Dr. Judy Birdsell, Dr. Ann Casebeer, Dr. John Colter, Sandy Doze, Dr. Brad Hagen, Dr.

  • 2.Body-La Jenesse
    Political Asylums MRonald A. LaJeunesse Each item in The Muttart Fellowship Products Series carries “the look” designed for the program. The concept incorporating pebbles and water fits with the Zen-like qualities of the visual identity of the Fellowship Program. Each front-cover pebble is different—representing the uniqueness of each fellow and what s/he has to offer. Applicants are like pebbles among pebbles. After each is refreshed and renewed through the Fellowship year, s/he has an impact on the nonprofit charitable sector like the rings the pebble creates on a pond of water. The varied use of this design recognizes the individuality of the Fellows while also creating a unified look to the Muttart Fellowship Products Series. The Muttart Fellowship Program—unique in Canada—was created in 1996. A project of The Muttart Foundation, a private foundation based in Edmonton, Alberta, the program is designed to: • develop research and other materials that will benefit the charitable sector in Canada. • provide senior managers within the social-services sector with an opportunity for a sabbatical year—a chance to recharge and renew themselves. Up to five fellowships are awarded each year to people working in senior-management positions in social-service charities within the Foundation’s funding area—Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and Yukon. During the Fellowship year, the Fellow leaves his or her agency to work on the chosen project. The Foundation makes a grant equal to the salary and benefit costs for the Fellow’s position, and provides a budget for expenses related to the project. At the end of the Fellowship year, the Fellow returns to his or her agency for at least a year.
